Warriors' Draymond Green airs frustration over play-in tournament
Draymond Green isn't pleased that the Golden State Warriors will need to navigate the play-in tournament again
The Golden State Warriors currently sit 10th in the Western Conference, half a game behind the Portland Trail Blazers and LA Clippers, who occupy the ninth and eighth seed, respectively. More importantly, they're 7. 5 games out of the sixth seed, which is currently held by the Denver Nuggets.
With just 14 games remaining in the regular season, the franchise looks set for another play-in tournament appearance. When speaking on a recent episode of "The Draymond Green Show," veteran forward Draymond Green shared his frustration with the Warriors' current situation. He joked that the team has become somewhat of a "play-in tournament magnet" in recent years.
“I’m sick of the play-in [tournament],” Green said. “It seems like we’re a play-in magnet. It sucks, but it’s great when you want an opportunity to get into the playoffs.
And that is the reality for us. We are not moving out of the play-in, and we won’t drop out of the play-in either. So, we’re in the play-in, and that’s what coach Kerr’s message has been to the team.
